2.4: Injuries Unit 2: Health, safety and training LS (Unit 2) Health, safety and training 2.4: Injuries ?

Learning Objectives By the end of this lesson students should: Describe the importance of the following means of avoiding injuries i.e. warm up and cool down, correct use of equipment, know the rules and regulations, check if surface and facilities are safe to use, do not participate if tired, and ensure that a teacher is always present. Understand the different types of injuries and their treatment, including the RICE treatment, for the following: Winding Simple cut or graze Blisters Bruises Muscle, tendon and Ligament injuries. 3. Understand the likely causes of common injuries. Assessment: A*-C Grade = more in-depth answers and extension work D-G Grade = answer most questions at foundation level LS (Unit 2) Health, safety and training 2.4: Injuries

Starter: safety Write down all of the ways that safety can be ensured in a sporting environment. HINT: Think about... People, objects, places, equipment, facilities LS (Unit 2) Health, safety and training 2.4: Injuries

Precautions Warm-up / Cool-down. Correct equipment. Rules and regulations. Safe surface and facilities. Fitness assessment. Supervisor present. LS (Unit 2) Health, safety and training 2.4: Injuries

A word of caution… Throughout this presentation there are a number of sporting images that could upset people. Can you please tell you’re teacher now.

Task 1: Hygiene Simple cleaning and grooming can stop the majority of simple problems. Skin care Nails Hair Feet Resist infection. Reduce simple injuries. Hazardous in some sports. Athletes foot. Verrucas. LS (Unit 2) Health, safety and training 2.4: Injuries

Task 2: Causes of sports injuries ACCIDENTAL INJURIES Internal Performing at highest level External Violence, the environment. OVERUSE INJURIES Caused by repetitive use. For example:, Tennis elbow, shin splints, blisters. CHRONIC INJURIES Stress before healing = worse injury. Continuation = chronic. Difficult to heal & can lead to permanent damage.

Task 3:Recognition and Types Two ways of recognising an injury. Signs = the spectator / attendant / viewer. Symptoms = the sufferer. Two types of injury: Soft tissue injuries – e.g. cut, bruising. Hard tissue injuries – e.g. fracture. So what is meant by soft and hard tissue? LS (Unit 2) Health, safety and training 2.4: Injuries ?

Task 4: Types of Injuries Type of Injury Definition Sign & Symptoms Cause Treatment Winding Temporary paralysis of diaphragm Pain, doubling over, cannot breath Blow to upper abdomen (solar plexus) Sit down & rest. Simple cut/ graze   Tearing / removal of top layer of skin. Pain, visible difference on skin. Laceration or friction. Clean/Dry/ Cover (plaster/non-adhesive dressing). LS (Unit 2) Health, safety and training 2.4: Injuries

Cover with special plaster. Type of Injury Definition Sign & Symptoms Cause Treatment Blister Small pocket of fluid Bubbling of the skin Heat or friction. DO NOT BREAK! Cover with special plaster. Bruising   Bleeding under the skin. Change of skin colour. Pain, swelling. Impact of the body. R.I.C.E. procedure Twisted Ankle Damage to the ankle joint. Joint forced beyond normal range of movement. LS (Unit 2) Health, safety and training 2.4: Injuries ?

Bruising, swelling, pain, bone emerges out of the skin Type of Injury Definition Sign & Symptoms Cause Treatment Fracture Break or crack in a bone. Bruising, swelling, pain, bone emerges out of the skin Excessive impact or force is put on the bone. Urgent medical attention. Reset the bone Dislocation   Bone forced out of its normal position at a joint Deformed Strong force applied to the area. Treat as a fracture Cartilage Injury Damage to cartilage within the joint Pain, swelling, locking of the knee Joint forced beyond normal range of movement Medical help. Immobilisation of the knee.

Task 5: What is R.I.C.E? Rest Ice Compression Elevation Treatment for soft tissue injuries For example... Sprain (ligaments). Strain (muscle or tendon). Impact injury. Stop immediately Apply ice to reduce swelling Bandage the for support and swelling Lift to restrict blood flow to the area, reduce swelling LS (Unit 2) Health, safety and training 2.4: Injuries

Task 6: Name that Fracture! Simple fracture (closed). Compound fracture (open). Stress fracture Greenstick fracture LS (Unit 2) Health, safety and training 2.4: Injuries
